Defending The Congress
(For allowing sequestration)

They're a clear and present danger to themselves,
To their neighbors and their friends,
To anyone at all who still pretends
They're not a frightful danger to themselves.

Because they are the Congress, they need to be committed,
And with their own straightjackets be outfitted.
And since they're who they are, no one will second guess the reason.
If they were sane, why would they risk being charged with treason
And end up in Guantanamo with little chance they'd be acquitted?

Pleas of mass insanity are their only hope.
Any other lame excuses? Absolutely nope.
How could we stomach any kind of a reprieve?
What judge would ever possibly believe
That each of them could be that much of a dope?
